Hillary Clinton Reportedly Set To Contest For Another Post This Year

The prospect of a Hillary Clinton comeback after her shock loss to
Donald Trump could hardly be less certain, but in New York where she is
revered, plenty of people dream of her running for mayor.
Her public appearances since the election have been largely confined
to walks in the woods close to her Chappaqua home, where she is
photographed in minimal make-up by neighbors mourning her defeat and
repelled by the president-elect.

The 69-year-old former secretary of state otherwise emerged to
present pop star Katy Perry with an award at a UNICEF ball and has been
photographed at smart restaurants such as the Polo Bar, dining with
fashion designer Ralph Lauren who custom-made the pantsuit in which she
conceded defeat to Trump.

Then there was also a December meeting with donors at which the New York
Times said that she blamed her loss on Russian President Vladimir Putin
and the late-hour FBI intervention over her email scandal.

In a city where nearly 80 percent of the electorate voted for her,
Clinton can forget that she polarized the electorate and the millions of
Americans who consider her the incarnation of an abhorrent political
class.

On January 8, she got a standing ovation on Broadway when she
attended the last night of The Color Purple in stark contrast to Vice
President-elect Mike Pence who was booed and lectured when he went to
Hamilton in November.

On Friday she will attend Trump’s inauguration her first major
appearance in months — when cameras will be watching for the slightest
reaction from the woman who hoped to shatter the ultimate glass ceiling
and become the first female commander-in-chief of the world’s most
powerful democracy.
